Air Conditioning Overview
Air Conditioning systems are designed to control the quality of the air within a room to ensure operational specifications are met. This includes the control of temperature, humidity, airflow and fresh air within the room.
Types of Air Conditioner
Computer Room Air Conditioning - The objective is to keep all of the IT equipment within the standard environmental ranges as specified by the manufacturers.This is provided by floor-standing units that are designed to adapt to the conditions within the room and provide cooling and humidification exactly where required. These are referred to as close-control, downflow systems. The air from the units pressurises the raised access floor plenum and is delivered precisely to specific areas of the room by air grille tiles. The location of the A/C units and of the grille tiles is calculated and defined as part of the 'Air Flow and Capacity Design' of the room.
Call Centre/Office Air Conditioning- The objective is to keep the personnel in comfortable working conditions. This can be provided in many different forms, such as individual ceiling/wall mounted units or ducted VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) systems. All of these are commonly referred to as comfort cooling. The location of the A/C units is calculated based on the personnel and layout of the room.
